Review summary

It was an ok experience. Ship is quite nice and was brand new. Specialty restaurants are very good. We knew the destinations were going to be less exciting, but did not expect some tours to be that bad. Other areas of improvement include wine selection, food at the main restaurant, shows and entertainment.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Smooth and relatively fast

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Wine selection below other luxury lines, even in specialty restaurants. Food was good in speciality restaurants, but not in the main dinning room (Compass Rose). Only one reservation in each specialty restaurant was allowed during the voyage. There was no opportunity to repeat any of them.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Average in line with other lines.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

The duo was good, but other programs including the main theater shows were below expectations.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

As in any luxury line, service tends to be good or outstanding.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Ship was brand new and is beautiful!
